Spatially-Aware Adaptive Trajectory Optimization with Controller-Guided Feedback for Autonomous Racing

ICRA 2026poster

We present a closed-loop framework for autonomous raceline optimization that combines NURBS-based trajectory representation, CMA-ES global trajectory optimization, and controller-guided spatial feedback. Instead of treating tracking errors as transient disturbances, our method exploits them as infor…

Towards Autonomous Wood-Log Grasping with a Forestry Crane: Simulator and Benchmarking

ICRA 2025

Forestry machines operated in forest production environments face challenges when performing manipulation tasks, especially regarding the complicated dynamics of underactuated crane systems and the heavy weight of logs to be grasped. This study investigates the feasibility of using reinforcement lea

Time-Optimal TCP and Robot Base Placement for Pick-and-Place Tasks in Highly Constrained Environments

IROS 2024poster

This work proposes a highly parallelized optimization scheme to simultaneously optimize the robot base and tool center point (TCP) placement within a robotic work cell for a sequence of pick-and-place tasks. The placement is optimized for minimum cycle time by considering the scenario holistically,…
